[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was pretty much on my own at 17 and it really did me no harm. was good for me actually. I know lots of other 16, 1 and 18 yr olds also out on their own too. Like her we were resourceful, found place to stay, worked, went to school etc.

Not everyone gets great parents, that is the luck of the draw, but everyone can choose what they are going to do with their own lives. So she can choose to sit there whining and moping about how awful her life and her parents are, or she can choose to make the decisions she needs to make to get to where she wants to be.

She is also fortunate that she has grandparents, aunt, uncles, cousins and other family there as well. Unless she is an absolute menace I am sure there is someone within the family that is or would be a supportive person for her. [/quote]

You conveniently missed the part where she talks about working 60 hours per week in a hostel to support herself.  She has no support from any of her family over there.

How about this?  Her mother gets her head out of her ass, realizes that you don't just get to ship your kids off when they become difficult and rectifies the situation by bringing her back where she belongs.  It's one thing to be sort of on your own and working while living at your parents house here in the US at 17.  It's an entirely different thing when you are in a country where you no no one, don't speak the language and have no support.  TRUST ME, I HAVE DONE IT.  I, however, came willingly and had a host family that helped me for the first couple of years. [/quote]
